Well if the server locations are germany or west coast US, Im thinking west coast would be a bit closer for me. So assuming less lag from the US servers.

Really wont know till the beta starts though I guess.

I also should note, i actually think the writer of that piece is wrong, I can do the same thing in WoW right now. 'The play and not talk to folks for an couple of hours' on my two back up servers. Hell on my main I barely talk to anyone other than guild mates.

With a guild in GW2 it'll feel exactly the same as WoW or any other MMO.
Plus I gaurantee there will be folks like myself who will utilize 'say' plenty enough to tell other players nice job, or good fighting with ya, when doing things like taking out the big monster, or doing a good pvp defence.

Sometimes I like to just play and not talk to people, sometimes I like being able to chat to people.

Either way itl be a fun game lol.

People that aren't in the stream group add Quantech on steam and I'll add you there, that'll make it much easier to communicate.

People who want to voice chat, add thomas_joynson on skype and I'll sort everything out for you.

I suggest we try out Riverside (EU) and The Eternal Grove (US), preferably all on one server but we can split up if the lag is that bad.

12 hours to beta folks!

**Melissia**

I'll be joining Eternal Grove when I first create.

**Swordwind**

I probably will as well. They'll probably both be as bad lag-wise for me.

**Zyllos**

I will go where the majority goes. Once in place, I can test out the pings. If it is bad, then I will swap on over to the US server.

**Karon**

Going to join Anvil Rock for this beta to see how the /vg/ guild is going to go this BWE.

**Phototoxin**

I caved and pre-ordered.... now the waiting begins...

Edit : I find their forums don't work, I get a /forums# at the links when I click them. I had to search the site to find the beta download... hmm not boding well so far...

**Swordwind**

Sorry guys, I'll be on Vabbi with the guild. ): Maybe next BWE.

**MrDwhitey**

I'm currently logged in on GW2.

Interesting.

**Zyllos**

Interesting, I just logged in also.

I am still unsure, what server is everyone going to and how will I contact individuals?

**Morathi's Darkest Sin**

Probably best to post character/server in here from the two server options. Track folks down that way.

**Zyllos**

Well, I guess I will initially start on Riverside.

**Swordwind**

Xaph Ironfist: Riverside

**MrDwhitey**

The damn stress test weeked I was on deleted my characters but kept my homeworld selected as Vabbi.

Now I only have the one free transfer.

Settled on Riverside with that transfer to escape Vabbi.

**Morathi's Darkest Sin**

Lilara Ravenbane, (Norn Hunter) Riverside EU, and damn that create mode is impressive.

**Corpsesarefun**

Septimus Silvereye (human engineer) Riverside EU.

**Zyllos**

Anyone else get knocked off and can not log in?

**Avatar 720**

Pyriona (one of my Skyrim characters, wrote lore about her and everything

) Norn Elementalist on Riverside EU... that is, if this black screen ever clears after that video you get following char creation.

EDIT: Assumed it was because people were getting knocked off, so I had to end the program and now i'm being told there's a transaction in progress, and to try later.

EDIT2: Will only be one until 9-9:30 tonight, because that's when the new series of Would I Lie to You?, Have I Got News for You and Not Going Out are on, then i'll be on after those until about 12-1am, because TBBT is on E4.

Yes twice now, but I can get back in after a few mins, teething issues and all that, it is beta after all.

**Zyllos**

Ya, I finally got back in but got kicked off again =)

**Absolutionis**

US is going Eternal Grove, then?

**Zyllos**

I believe so, Eternal Grove on the US and Riverside for UK/EU. I am going to try out the UK/EU to see if it is plausible for me to play on it.

**Corpsesarefun**

Remember people; add thomas_joynson on skype, quantech on steam and Septimus Silvereye in game!

**Ravenblade666**

Just as I get ready to log into the beta the other half tells me she's downloading the beta for MoP, Lag city for me tonight xD

**Zyllos**

Still having issues staying on =(

Getting reports that their servers are overloaded. heh

**Avatar 720**

I haven't been able to get on for the past 20mins, so i'm going to wait for them to unmelt their servers and might be on later tonight.

**Zyllos**

Same here Avatar, heh. I am not sure if they expected this!

**Swordwind**

So, are we gonna make our own guild?

**MrDwhitey**

I've given up for now.

**Swordwind**

I'm playing Guild Wars 1.
